Researchers have discovered the presence of micro-nano-plastics in arterial plaque, specifically in the carotid arteries of individuals studied. The study, published by the American Heart Association, investigated the composition of plaque buildup in this region. Using advanced imaging techniques, the researchers identified small plastic particles, including microplastics and nanoparticles, embedded within the fatty deposits.
The presence of these plastics raises concerns about their potential impact on cardiovascular health. While the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood, it is possible that micro-nano-plastics may contribute to the development or progression of atherosclerosis. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between plastic pollution and cardiovascular disease.
